Book Description
Wilderness Navigation Map and Compass Navigation Techniques and Orienteering Skills Do you want to learn about wilderness navigation and orienteering in a simple and easy to understand way? This easy to follow book, with handy illustrations throughout, will guide you through the usually overcomplicated world of orienteering and navigation with a map and compass in a concise and clear way. Accurate wilderness navigation using a map and compass is vital for anyone who is intending to get out and explore the great outdoors. Even with the modern technology we have available to us, this is still an essential survival skill. Electronic equipment such as GPS is prone to many issues such as poor signal, battery life, malfunction, overheating and water damage. Without roads to follow, it will simply guide you in a straight line. This could lead you straight into a cliff face that you would either have to climb or walk for miles around. A map however will have contour lines that you can read. This book covers all of the topics you will need to learn about in order to read maps and use a compass accurately including: The different types of compass and their uses, the different types of north, declination, the different types of map and which one to choose, planning a journey and working out bearings, finding where you are when lost and how to get back on course, how to use coordinates and much more!
